Little Brother

Little brother we had five thousand days

                                                No longer can I hold your hand

Little brother got to send you on your way

                                                We’ve crossed the street in our dirty feet

To find a better life on the other side
So go on without me now
I need a pair of boots that fit me well
‘cause my streets aren’t paved with gold 

 

Little brother we had five thousand days

                                                I figured out how to survive

Little brother got to send you on your way


                                                We’ve got to live our separate lives
                                                Little brother bless you, may you go through life
                                                Always dodging horses, always stepping right

‘Cause together we were lost, so go on without me now
Be sure to look before you cross, you can go farther now

                                                I need a pair of boots that fit me well
                                                ‘cuz my streets aren’t paved with gold

 

 

Little brother we had five thousand days

                                                We laughed and played when we weren’t afraid

Little brother got to send you on your way

                                                Go be the kid you were meant to be
                                                Little brother bless you, may you go through life
                                                Always dodging horses, always stepping right 

 

Yes. We used to laugh a lot and that counts for everything
Yet we couldn’t manage love without our histories
I need a pair of boots that fit me well
‘cause my streets aren’t paved with gold

No longer can I hold your hand
